IMPROVED SHOE-MAKERS BENCH.

To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, JoNAs TEAMELIE, of the city of Janesville, county of Rock, and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and Improved Mode of Constructing a Shoe-Makers Bench; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to `i'fhe accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, like characters referring to like parts in each ligure.

Figure 1 represents a top view ofthe bench A with its appurtenances, showing the peg ging-jack with the last E in the right position for trimming the wolk placed thereon. D is a shaft. B is an arm ot' the jack, to which is attached the revolving part designated in general terms by H F. L are springjournalcaps secured to piace by the screw-bolts i, by means ot' which the workman is enabled to so a just the friction on the journals as to secure the jack in any desired position. O is a balance-weight to deaden the blow given on the last E. 'G is a movable standard, which can be adjusted at any desired angie by means of the thumb screw a. The length is adjusted by means of the screw represented on the standard Gr, operated by revolving the nut F. Thus, by the devices described, the operator' is enabled to readily adjust his jack to an \v sized last, or to give it any desired inclination. This last-described part of the jack is constructed to revolve at the point b, which is enlarged and shown in section at Fig. 4, giving the conical form ot' the revolving joint. h is a spring operated upon by means of the nnt P. By this device the workman can secure any desired amount of friction at this connection, as by tightening up the nut P, firmness of bearing is secured, and all looseness from wear avoided. N are draws for tools and small stock. vO is a cutting-shelf. K is a skeleton pivot frame in which is secured the crimpboard I by means of the crank-sclew e, which admits ot' the crimpboard I being turned in any desired position. The skeleton frame K, Fig. 2, may be revolved vertically on the pin c, or horizontally on the pin J, by these means enabling the operattr to place his crimping jack in any desired pol sition that circumstances may require.

Fig. 2 is an elevation of the bencb. A represents the body of the bench. ln this ligure the arm B ot' the jack is turned down at right angles with the position shown at Fig. 1, and the movable part H F is also turned at right angles with the position shown in saine figure. k are movable toe pieces, and which are arranged in sets to accommodate different sizes or styles of lasts.

What I claim as new, and for which I desire Letters latent, is-

1. The substantial construction ofthe bench, when combined with the pegging and crimpingjacks, as shown and described.

2. The peggingjack, when constructed substantially as set forth, having an adjustable standard, G, operated upon to give it any desired angle by the thumb-screw at, or any desired extension, by means of the screw on standard Gr, combined with the friction-spring h and conical jointshown at Fig. 4g, and the friction journal-caps L, when arranged substantially as herein set forth and described.

3. The crimping-jack, when arranged to revolve in the 'various ways and in the manner herein described and set forth.
